Re: Clear Channel on a T1

[CARL.P.HIRSCH () sargentlundy com]

Here's a few more details -
We provision T1.

Salesdroid asks "You wanna give us $$$ for clear channel?"

Us: "..... ?"

Salesdroid: "It's so you can get 64kbit rather than the normal 56k"

Us: "We thought all DS-0s were 64kbit?"

Me: "I know! I'll ask NANOG!"

Here's a document that further obfuscates the matter for me -
http://www.comtest.com/tutorials/t1.html

Anybody care to comment on its relevance in this situation? If I read it
correctly, Clear Channel = Less Capacity. Doesn't sound right.

I believe the carrier in question is AT&T.

thanks for any input you guys might have

Can anybody give me some info on what exactly "Clear Channel" means in
relation to a DS1 circut?

My gut tells me that it's only relevant with voice Ts...
